Restaurants Follow Food Trucks' Lead

Trend alert: Brick and mortars are going mobile.

It seems we have an interesting trend on our hands: restaurants spawning food trucks. Traditionally it's been the reverse—food trucks going the way of restaurants—but recent developments suggest a shift.

The latter's foray into four-wheeled dining is notable considering the upmarket roots of the Willows Lodge restaurant. The truck will carry that torch—it's not like cartoon characters will splatter the exterior, a rep says—and offer some of chef Bobby Moore's signature dishes (at least the ones that can be cooked on a truck).

The mobile kitchen will serve as an off-site catering vehicle for events and festivals and will also make its way around town. Where? According to the rep, no neighborhoods have been determined. Look for it to makes its debut in May.
